REHABILITATION WORK
IN BEAUFORT COUNTY
Among the numerous rehabilitation
clients of the South Carolina ERA
are those of the negroes on St. Helena
Island in Beaufort County. At the
present time, ten families are being
independent, and the scientific manner
in which these island negroes are re
habilitating themselves, is a challenge
to others in South Carolina who have
been and are now on | relief rolls.
These negroes are entnusiast

appreciative of what the government
is doing for them. They are not ig-

the town of Beaufort from the sea.
St. Helena is historic, and since 1862
has been used as a laboratory for an
experiment in community education.
Boon after the capture of the sea is
lands off the coast of South Carolina
by Northern forces, Laura M. Towne
and Ellen Murray came to St. Helena,
and there established Penn School
now known as Penn Normal, Industrial
an^ Agricultural School. They were
followed some 30 years ago by Rosa
B. Cooley and Grace Biglow House
who since that time have given their
entire lives in educating the negroes
on the islandt and in merging school
and community into a common adven
ture by bringing the farms to the
school. j
Miss Cooley and Miss House have
done a remarkable work, and their
been Trained at Penn School. Their
farms hfive been brought to their
school. •They have community pride,
and have been trained not only in
farming but in other vocational prin-
cipless.
St. Helena negroes cannot be classed
as “biggity” negroes who want to
claim the world for their own, but for
the most part, they have the simplici
ty and dignity of negroes eager to
learn and at the same time perfectly
contented to remain on the island.
The children take great pride in
their .Schools; the farmers great pride
in their farms—in fact they are
taught to take a pride in everything
they do.
The education at Penn is not mere
ly one of theory but as has been siid,
the terchers bring the farms t<

wrvfces are reflected in the education-'schocl. Industrial and 1 vocational
al and agricultural background that 1 work is taught just as farm-home
has been instilled in the negroes who management, gardening, sewing, li
once were considered as farm hands
nht hardly capable of being educated.
Requirements of rural rehabiltation
clients are that they must be thrifty,
crnscientious, honest, loyal, and above
all, have an agiicutural background.
It was because needy negroes on St.
Helena’s Island had these prerequis
ites that ten of them were chosen by
the ERA to be rehabilitated. The
eagerness and willingness to become
brary, end practice teaching, while
the practical work for boys is divided
under eleven headings: farm fields
and orchaid, forestry and wood* supply,
dairy, live stock, garden, road and
grounds, native island basketry, black-
smithing and wheelwrighting, carpen
try, cobbling, harness making and up
holstery and machine ropairs.
“All work and! no play,’’ as the say
ing goes, “makes Jack a dull boy,”
but community life on St. Helena’s Is
land mixes play with its work. They
have their plays, their music, their
clubs, community sings, contests and
the like, and then they have their
spirituals which they sing while at
work, worship and at play. As a
whole, they are satisfied with the life
on the island plantation, and since a
iural rehabilitation stresses content
ment in being on a farm, these people,
from this standpoint, are ideal clients.-
